Thanks for the info, Paul.  I'll keep that in mind but I think I'm going 
to take Tom's advice and go for a new Samsung home/office laser printer. 
  I was concerned about the parallel/usb conversion since I had a couple 
vicarious experiences with folks trying to convert USB to SCSI to run 
older scanners and both without success.  Since these were Adaptec 
devices I figured if Adaptec couldn't get the SCSI/USB thing correct 
probably no one else could either.
